My lover's gone
his boots no longer by my door
he left at dawn

and as I slept I felt him go
Returns no more
I will not watch the ocean

My lover's gone
no earthly ships will ever bring him home again
bring him home again


My lover's gone
I know that kiss will be my last

no more his song
the tune upon his lips has passed


I sing alone
while I watch the ocean
My lover's gone

no earthly ships will ever bring him home again
bring him home again
